APPLICATIONS OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Emerging technologies are used in many areas to improve the way we live, learn, and work. They
help us solve problems, save time, and do tasks more easily. Below are some of the most important
technologies that are changing the world around us.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that aims to create computers and machines
which are as intelligent as human beings. AI refers to the creation of intelligent agents—systems that
can reason, learn, and act on their own. These machines are designed to be as smart as the human
brain and can respond like humans.

AI is now a part of almost every technology we use today, such as smartphones, cars, and banking
systems:

AI is used for image recognition, such as face unlocking in smartphones.

Virtual assistant apps like Siri and Google Assistant use AI to understand and respond to voice commands.
Navigation apps like Google Maps use AI to suggest the best routes.
